UKMU Review
“When it comes to the music itself this five piece from the northeast have got a flare for pace…The two racks they have up keep you guessing from one riff to the next as they keep up the pace and the riff changes… Nice breakdowns and complex riffs keep the tracks interesting and again leave you wanting more. So really that’s a testament to the track they have up themselves… If HLTC can give us more tracks like this and of this calibre, I think they may be around for a while yet.”
